String username = request.getRemoteUser();

However, for this value to be set, Apache must be protecting that URL.
In other words, if you were to start with a clean browser session and
enter the URL of the JSP/Servlet directly, you would have to be
prompted for username and password.

You are probably doing this already, but it isn't enough to have Apache
configured for LDAP, Apache also has to be configured to protect the
URL that WAS Express is using.  Normally, I would just protect the
entire context root of the app.
